The aviation industry players emphasize manufacturing, integration, or mounting lightweight materials on aircraft models. The aviation authorities, aircraft manufacturers, aircraft component manufacturers, MRO service providers, and military forces seek lightweight materials for each component to extend the aircraft's flying range and increase fuel efficiency. As advanced civil aircraft manufacturers are increasingly using titanium alloy, it has become an essential structural material for civil aviation. Many aerospace fasteners suppliers prefer titanium alloy materials after the development of lightweight equipment. In many developed and developing countries, over ~95% of titanium alloy fasteners are made of internationally recognized Ti-6Al-4V materials, and a few advanced models of titanium alloy fasteners have completely replaced 30CrMnSiA steel. After the C-5A military transport aircraft adopted titanium alloy fasteners, the weight was reduced by ~4,500 kg. Similarly, after the Boeing 747 fasteners of civil aircraft replaced steel with titanium, the mass was reduced by 1,814 kg. Russian titanium alloy fasteners and alloy systems have been used in IL-76, IL-86, IL-96, Tu-204, An-72, and An-124 aircraft models, significantly reducing the aircraft's weight. Thus, the adoption of lightweight material-based fasteners in the aerospace industry is anticipated to generate ample growth opportunities for aerospace titanium fasteners market players.
With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the APAC aerospace titanium fasteners market at a notable CAGR during the forecast period.
